Effect: Within the Underworld, you are able to teleport to a place you remember.

Muyoung tried to keep himself as calm as possible.

He calmed his spirit and regained his composure.

Although it couldn’t endlessly emit flames like the Glass of Fire, to Muyoung, the Glass of Fire was incomparable to this item.

‘To a place I remember…’

He couldn’t return to Earth, but depending on how he used it, it could be incredibly useful.

It was peculiar that it didn’t have a limit to the distance.

If Muyoung was a beginner, he might not have had much use for this item. However, as the current Muyoung possessed his past memories, he could make use of it better than anyone.

He could teleport to a currently undiscovered place with the Star of David and monopolize the rewards or he gain a secret class much more easily.

However, the first thing that came to mind when he first laid eyes on the magical item wasn’t either of those.

‘Hedley Kow[1].’

Humans have been summoned into the Underworld for a long time, but there were more unexplored areas than there were explored.

5 years from now, due to the foretelling of the Great Calamity, every guild and clan started to organize a wide-scale exploration of the Underworld. During that time, they happened upon Hedley Kow.

‘Hedley Kow’ was the name of a certain fairy.

Although fairies normally have the appearance of a four-legged rock, they were able to shapeshift.

On top of that, they were able to possess the same abilities as the target they shapeshifted into.

And one of those targets was… the phoenix.

Once they felt that their life was threatened, they would break out of the rock as a phoenix.

However, Hedley Kow was too cowardly and fled as soon as it transformed.

If he could only capture it, it could have become a material necessary to create an S rank weapon.

Even if he was to absorb it, he anticipated an incredible growth to his abilities as the heart of a phoenix was an endless supply of magical power.

Although the phoenix was a bit weaker than a dragon, its heart was comparable to that of a dragon’s.

If it was a regular phoenix, it would be impossible to catch, but a Hedley Kow-transformed phoenix could even be captured by Muyoung.

It was better than most rewards he could receive from a place with the Star of David. What was worse was that the trials were designed to be impossible to complete by one person.

The only obstacle in capturing Hedley Kow was that area which Hedley Kow inhabited was quite deep in the territory of a Demon God so, to secretly traverse the territory, he needed to get stronger.

“Is this all?” asked Muyoung as cool-headed as he could.

It was because it was him, that he had a use for the item, to any ordinary beginner, the item would have been an insignificant reward.

At the same time, the Guide’s expression stiffened.

“What do you mean ‘Is this all’! It could be a life-saving item you know.”

“Every time I win, don’t a get a reward?”

On the first bet, he won the Guide’s guidance. On the second, he won the Long-distance Magical Item and now Muyoung looked like he was waiting to see what he would get for his third win.

“You… are very greedy!”

“You are the one that said you would give a reward for a win.”

“Urgh. Fine. For the last reward, why don’t you tell me what you want. I will do my best to fulfil your request as long as it’s something I can do.”

The biggest compromise.

It was obvious he was going to coldly refuse the difficult requests.

Also, Muyoung didn’t have anything special to ask of him.

“Guarantee my safety for 10 days.”

Muyoung was certain that the Guide wouldn’t refuse as this request overlapped with the initial request of guiding him.

“10 days? Too long. I won’t go over 3 days.”

“Then let’s settle for 3 days.”

Muyoung nodded his head.

Truthfully, one or two days would have been sufficient.

Since he knew the Guide was going to haggle, he purposely asked for 10 days. 3 days was a splendid result.

The Guide was stupefied when Muyoung agreed so easily.

However, Muyoung knew what kind of existence the Guide really was.

‘The past aide of Solomon, a magician who can only live in the Blue Temple.

A supreme magician more than a thousand years old.

He was a guide and at the same time, a protector.

With his existence, the Blue Temple was completely protected.

Even the great Demon Gods were not able to easily break into the Blue Temple.

However, he was unable to leave the Blue Temple, in a certain way, he was the Blue Temple.

It was because he had aged to a point where he should have been long dead.

However, he heard that the Guide periodically reverse the effect of time on his physical body.

It was magic that was only permitted in the Blue Temple.

This was why he currently had a naïve appearance.

As both his physical body and mind would always revert back in time, his physical body had to die to truly awaken the power of the supreme magician.

‘This was uncovered through the Demon Gods.’

A full-scale invasion started after the Great Calamity, where all the humans on Earth were summoned to the Underworld.

And then, because of the massive gathering of humans, the barrier of the Blue Temple collapsed.

Three of the highest ranking Demon Gods launched an attack on the Blue Temple and the Guide’s physical body turned to ashes in an instant. However, afterwards the supreme magician began to ‘reanimate’ himself.

The battle went on for ten long days, but the supreme magician ended up losing.

However, he was an incredible existence who was able to fight evenly against three high-ranking Demon Gods for ten days.

Although he was not the supreme magician, the current body of the Guide was more than enough to ensure his safety within the forest.

Since, no matter what his current condition was, his strength was in magic.

“So where are you planning on going? I will first fulfill my role as a guide.”

Shiing!

Muyoung unsheathed Anguish.

And then, he ran towards the forest.

“That, that crazy….”

Huuuuuaaagggghhh!

After staring at Muyoung’s fleeting image and hearing the shrieks of various monsters, the Guide finally realized Muyoung’s intentions.

‘So that’s what he meant by ensure his safety!’

That was it.

The reason why Muyoung asked him to ensure his safety for three days.

Shut up and hunt!

He planned to wipe out the monsters without looking back.

*

<Agility has increased by 1.>

<Stamina has increased by 1.>

……

Muyoung ran like crazy.

As if to show what it meant to run like crazy, he didn’t even stop to rest for a second.

If anything, he jumped towards danger and fought with his life on the line.

He knew that the best way to increase his stats was to fight against monsters.

At the same time, the one who felt like dying was the Guide.

“Grr. You asked me to only ensure your life, what kind of impractical request is this!”

The Guide only acted when Muyoung was about to die.

However, that was not easy to time.

With the way Muyoung fought, it wouldn’t be weird if he dropped dead at any time.

After he had protected him with magic, he was thanked with replies like, “I almost lost my flesh and could have ended up as a pile of bones,” “I got scratched a little, but it’s not to the point I’ll die.”

Thanks for the chapter! Finally a hint of the dungeon containing the secret class! Seriously it’s already necomancer three already and everything was only preparations! Ya ya I know preparations is half the battle or something… >.>

Thanks for the awesome chapter! Hope you two have a good day or night or week or whatever.

If the guide wanted to be an asshole he could have just locked down the MC for three days and fulfilled his promise that way. He said he’d keep him safe, didn’t stipulate how. In fact with the MC running around like a crazy suicidal he could have argued it was for his own good haha.

sigh, only a +3 on strength for a B+ item? that should be an item at the bottom of the chart, not near the top. Le Sigh…. the balancing is really shitty, only items giving for truly special things like trials are actually anywhere near the ranks worth probably. Should be a grade besides just the typical lettering system, like Ordinary B+, Rare B+ Legendary B+ ect.

I kinda agree with Muyoung; any new person would like the fire spirit more seeing as you can use it continuously instead of only once, I understand the guide when he says it could save you life but it should at least have been able to be used twice for a newcomer to think it is useful.

Most people don’t carry talismans like that for long enough that it becomes useful, unless you are a hoarder…
